doing some research

what do u think is the maximum number of jaffa cakes a human can fit in their mouth?

i feel like there is a demon out there that can fit a whole sleeve in their mouth. swallowing might be problamz but getting it in is doable

have you seen the world records for biggest mouths? i reckon like 8
slightly on topic but aldi do the best jaffa cakes imo

According to wikipedia, jaffa cakes have an average diameter of 54mm. The top jam layer has an average thickness of 4mm, and the covering chocolate layer has an average thickness of 1mm, totaling in 5mm of thickness. For simplicity purpose, let us assume that a jaffa cake is a perfect cylinder, which will end up with more volume than a realistic jaffa cake giving us a certain security coefficient to work with. With before mentioned information, we end up with all the data required to give us a result of a single perfectly cyllindrical jaffa cake volume - 11445 mm^3, which we will approximate to 11,5 cm^3. According to wikipedia, male human mouth on average can hold 71,2 cm^3, while a female mouth holds 55,4 cm^3. Dividing volumes of mouth to volumes of the jaffa cakes, we end up with the following - an average male human mouth can hold 6,2 jaffa cakes, while an average female human mouth can hold 4,8 jaffa cakes. Because we assumed perfect cylindric geometric shape of jaffa cake, and the non-elasticity of jaffa cakes, we can approximate the results to the higher end. Therefore, it is safe to say an average human male can hold at least 6 jaffa cakes, while an average female should be able to hold 5 or more jaffa cakes in their mouths.

MankyThe top jam layer has an average thickness of 4mm, and the covering chocolate layer has an average thickness of 1mm, totaling in 5mm of thickness.

These dimensions may be incorrect as the sponge layer of the jaffa cake has not been accounted for. The dimensions of a jaffa cake are not readily available on the internet; the closest found was 15mm in total thickness, measured from the tip of the Jaffa dome to the base of the sponge. The cited volume of the mouth was also based on a liquid volume; consequently, much of the area will be impossible to occupy when filled with non-elastic solids. As it intuitively seems unlikely that a human could fit two jaffa cakes side-by-side horizontally inside the mouth to facilitate two stacks of cakes, this permutation of the cakes was discarded. Using the cake thickness measurement under the assumption that all of the jaffa cakes will be orientated in parallel, we can simply divide the average width of a human mouth cheek-to-cheek by the height of a jaffa cake to calculate how many will fit orientated vertically. The mean maximum mouth opening measured vertically between the teeth is 52mm; as such, after accounting for teeth, most people will be able to fit a jaffa cake on its edge between the tongue and the roof of the mouth. Given this information, the crux of the matter lies upon the distinction between having the mouth open and closed. Any amount of jaffa cakes that fit in the opened mouth will fit when closed, as they will be crushed and expand to fill the volume like a liquid - but is it cheating?

I have done some empirical testing and have found the human limit is in fact 9. Well below my initial hypothesis.
